eGov GIS (Geographic Information Systems)

GIS Geographic Information Systems are computer systems used for capturing, storing and analyzing Geographic data. Since a citys administration and planning are closely tied to its geography, GIS systems are a great tool for efficiently governing a city. As such, the eGovernments Foundation works to integrate all its application modules (such as the eGov Property and eGov Works) with a GIS system. eGov GIS is a GIS product that compliments the eGov applications on Property Tax and Ward Works.

The Property Tax with GIS application demonstrates the synergies that come about by integrating the eGov Property with eGov GIS. The eGovernments Foundation has come up with detailed process and workflows that are necessary to do a through survey of Urban areas to create a MIS and GIS databases, as a result the Property Tax with GIS Toolkit a set of documents has been created.

GeoDatabase Model for Urban GIS was developed to standardize how GIS data is stored. The eGovernments Foundation has partnered with The Survey of India in creating a standard model for representing Urban GIS data. The GeoDatabase Model for Urban GIS has been written so data collected by various different vendors and agencies in different cities is in the standard format that is compatible with the eGovern GIS application.

Byatrayanapura Prototype

The eGov Foundation developed the Property Tax with GIS system that would integrate the eGovern Property Tax Application with the eGovern GIS application. The idea was to create a GIS basemap for city planning and administration with a specialized thematic layer for property taxation. In order to understand the nitty-gritty details of such a system for replication in 56 cities, the eGov Foundation prototyped this project in one municipality, Byatrayanapura, just north of Bangalore. Since implementing the project involved highly specialized technologies and skill sets the eGov Foundation put together a set of partners, who would provide their services for free for the Byatrayanapura Prototype project.
Our partners include:

Survey of India
Karnataka Remote Sensing and Application Center - KRSAC
Secon Surveys A private surveying company
ESRI California-based GIS software company

On November 26, 2003, the system was launched in Byatrayanapura. Upon completion, the project was demonstrated to the Honorable Chief Minister of Karnataka, S.M.Krishna, and other ministers; the project received a very positive endorsement to implement this and other eGov modules across Karnataka.
